Semicircle Shape
If we cut a circle into two halves then the two shapes so formed are called the semicircle. Some real-life examples of the semicircle are the protractor, half moon, half pizza, etc.
Semicircle
Semicircle: In mathematics, particularly in geometry, a semicircle is defined as a one-dimensional set of points that make up half of a circle. It is a circular arc spanning 180 degrees, which is equivalent to π radians, or half of a full rotation. Semicircle is a half circle formed by cutting the circle into two halves. It is a circular arc that measures 180°, or π radians, or a half-turn. It only has one line of symmetry, called reflection symmetry.
In this article, we will discuss the concept of a semicircle, including its shape, formula, examples, perimeter, and area.
